Zabit Magomedsharipov will not appear in the upcoming UFC 6 video game. The featherweight contender has been confirmed absent from the title's fighter lineup.
Zabit Magomedsharipov will not feature in EA Sports UFC 6, with the Russian featherweight contender confirmed absent from the game's fighter roster ahead of the title's release.
Magomedsharipov, 35, holds an 18-1-0 professional record and remains one of the more intriguing names in the featherweight division. The six-foot-one orthodox fighter, who trains out of Ricardo Almeida Jiu-Jitsu, carries a 73-inch reach and has built a reputation as a dynamic, well-rounded competitor. His career numbers reflect that versatility — he lands 4.89 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy while also averaging an impressive 5.22 takedowns per 15 minutes. His omission from the game is notable given those credentials and the cult following he has accumulated among MMA fans.
Why it matters
- Magomedsharipov's absence removes one of the featherweight division's most technically distinct fighters from the roster
- His 18-1-0 record and combination of striking and grappling output made him a fan-favorite selection in previous UFC game entries
- The exclusion may reflect his prolonged inactivity at the UFC level, which has kept him out of the current rankings picture despite his talent
The reasons behind the omission have not been formally explained, and no licensing or contractual details have been disclosed. For a player base that tends to gravitate toward high-skill, exciting fighters, the absence of a competitor with Magomedsharipov's statistical profile is a meaningful gap in the roster.
